JOHANNESBURG – Orlando Pirates moved to the second spot on the Premiership log standings when they held Mamelodi Sundowns to a thrilling 0-0 draw in their top-of-the-table clash at a sold-out Orlando Stadium on Monday night.
The Buccaneers, whose only chance of winning silverware this season is in the Premiership, dominated the opening stages of the match as their strategy was to stretch the opposition’s defence, while hoping to create some space for their sharp-shooters in the engine room. That gave the visitors a sense of belief, with Emiliano Tade next to ask questions from a close-range free kick, with Sandilands wide awake.
